I have a pair of headphones which include a microphone and they are supposed to be connected to a pc via USB...
So i was wondering, could they actually work on my s3 using an otg usb cable?
Note that i dont have a cable like this which is why i am asking.
If you make the header more specific, there is more chance of an answer

I have the OTG but not the USB Headphones . If we can use HDMI cable (that transfers picture and sound) then i think you're headphones would work too. Maybe someone will have more specific answer.

hi does anyone know where to buy a USB cable (like the one that connects to the plug for charging)?
Is there an official one? does that even make any difference?
have tried looking on dealextreme but couldnt see anything
Why not use a standard miniUSB cable, it fits perfecty, although the interface looks kinda different.

Like leper04 said, any standard mini-USB cable will work to charge it via computer USB. Or are you referring to a wall-style charger?
didnt realise any mini usb will fit. the only other one ive got is for the ps3 pad charger that dont fit. isnt the port on the touch a different shape to stop you using a generic mini usb cable?
no even if it's a extUSB then normal miniUSB cables are compatible and works just
fine
mainly because the extusb part of miniUSB can only be used by headset
chargers and sych cables only use the miniUSB part
just tried the mini usb cable from my ps3 and it fits perfect. Excellent! Dont know why i didnt just try it myself before. Thanks for the help guys.

Note that many retractable mini-USB cables can charge, but cannot sync the Touch HD. I have a bunch, all of which do not work. Darn. Of course there are some that can sync, but these are in the minority it seems.
Is this possible? I know it's not with the equipment you get upon purchase, but is there somewhere, anything, that would enable this combo? Maybe some usb hub or i don't know...
Thx!

HTC 3-in-1 adapter.
I just tested this with my HTC and the YC-A300 adaptor and I can use headphones and charge at the same time no problem.
Bought this one yesterday and it is very good not too bulky. Brando 3in1 ext usb headphone adapter.

Hi,
Do I have to use original USB cable to transfer data to/from my Hero? I tried my USB mini cable which I use with my digital camera and other devices, and Hero started to charge it's battery, but didn't display any notification about possible file transfers. Also dmesg on my Ubuntu doesn't show any connected USB device. However, it works with original HTC cable, but it's quiet short.
You need the original cable. Sorry :-(
No you don't. A normal USB to Mini USB cable works fine.

So, why mine doesn't work? As I said, the cable works fine with my camera and MP3 player.
all generic usb cables i have used so far (at least 6, maybe 10) have worked fine. charging, file transfer, adb worked.

Whilst you don't need to use the supplied USB cable, this part of your statement is *incorrect*. There have been many, many, examples here on these forums where people have had to switch to using a different cable in order to get a PC to recognize the Hero correctly.
My advice to anyone having such an issue is to try a variety of different cables, even if the cables you are using work with other devices.

Hi. I just bought an adapter from to connect from the "bottom" 30-pin output (in this case) to a HDMI cable. Thing is, my TV (also a Samsung, btw) will not recognize the HDMI connection, which works perfectly with my laptop. So, I suppose I have missed something here, most likely something quite elementary. Any hints, please?

Did you also attach the power adapter ?
I had the same thing when Trying to connect via the 8.9 dock. You need external power for hdmi to work
External power? As in plugging into the 30-pin thing, which is already taken by the HDMI adapter? (Now I'm SURE I have missed something . . )
Ah - the power adapter! Well, I knew it had to be something elemental! That being said, I can't say this seems like an easy (nor elegant) way of doing things, but it works. At least.
Thanks to the both of you!
Yeah I had same experience with you,
Everything is ok after taking my charger

With my p7500 the same experience I'm now using it in every presentation I made.
Would like some light shed on the matter, how am I supposed to connect the Power adapter while the 30 pin port is taken by the HDMI adapter?
Execuse my ignorance ;(
Edit;
Found out how through eBay listing description.
Yes how do it

The HDMI Adapter has another 30 pin port on it.
I've read that some of the usb type C to 3.5 jack adapter are working now with a proper DAC, but I can't find a splitter that works for our HTC's or even for Pixel 2. People mention dongles made by certain companies, but I head to their websites and there's nothing available...
Can anyone help me find a viable splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time? I'm getting desperate, to be honest...
Thanks!
I have also tried several usb type c hubs but could not find one that works with htc headphones unfortunately.
I ended up buying an Bluetooth receiver to plug my headphones into when I need to charge too.
Not ideal but it works for me

Hey, that doesn't sound bad to me. I've never tried anything like that, though. Could you send me a link to your receiver or tell me any reference to start searching? Thanks in advance!

Look for a Bluetooth Receiver that supports wired headphones, i.e. it has a 3.5mm audio out socket.

Checking that out as we speak. Thanks mate!
Hi guys,
still trying to figure this out. I hope you can help me with this idea. All I want is charge and use headphones at the same time :
If I plug this hub (or similar one) to my U Ultra's usb port https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32846535696.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32846535696&productSubject=USB-C-Hub-USB-C-HDMI-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Macbook-Pro-Thunderbolt-3-Type-C-Hub
And then use this adapter (with DAC integrated) into the usb c of the hub: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32832480232.html.
Will it work? Or the DAC needs to be placed exactly in the usb out of the phone? I'd really appreciate the help.
For these hubs to provide charging you need to connect the charger in the type c port of the hub which is marked with the lightning sign. To connect the 3.5 mm adapter you will need another adapter from usb type a male to type c female. Such adapters exsist but when i tried to connect the htc type c headphones via the hub and such adapter they were simply not detected by the phone so i doubt that the 3.5mm adapter will also work in such configuration.

If I decided to go for Bluetooth earphones... Any will do, am I right? No DAC thing to be worried about, I guess...

That's it, exactly. Take any BT headset you like and can afford, they have the DAC already built in.
